Teacher be taught

There was a time when mothers would bring up their daughters telling them "Ladkiyon ke liye teaching line best hai (Teaching is the best profession for women). " Six hours of lessons to largely disciplined batches of students - and perhaps a bit of homework-monitoring - and one could return home to take care of the family.

Apparently there is a vast difference between conventional & digital method of teaching.Old hands should opt to attrition and new recruits inducted after intenesive training .Lured by the hefty pay packets old teachers linger on with a fond hope of learning new techniques by trial & error.Peemgee

very contemporary article... teachers must perk up themselves to the present day challenges to prove their mettle.

Many thanks to Timescrest for this alarming teaching situation,the conclusion I drew from that a teacher must be an allrounder if he/she have to be one step ahead of their students,but at the same time the students and their parents should also behave properly and copeup with the teachers.

Thanks to Crest for publishing such a nice story.. covers many dimensions of the modern day school education that is putting a lot of demands on the teachers. The curriculum, the trainings, the resources are woefully short to meet the rising expectations of the educated and demanding parents today.
